Sunday afternoon so quiet with Scotti and Doc

  On Saturday last week I had a lesson with Duke in the arena with Krystyn.  We focused on about 40 minutes of work on the mounting block.  Everytime he moved backward I got off and stopped everything.  They stood with him until he tried it again and then finally 3 times Duke was cooperative.  I was happy that he finally was lisnting.  Before Krystyn got there I had plenty of time alone at the barn. It was so nice.  There was no rest the entire Perry family showed up just after to stay for the night. I could see everyone there. I appreciated all of the time




On Sunday, I didnt take any pictures but it was pretty cool to see. I was working out with Duke in the arena after some work at the mount.  I looked behind me and there was Scotti.  I was alittle bit worried but sthe was very kind.  She said that she had to work at the block plenty of times with her horses.  She watched me as I stepped down several times when he moved.  Then I thought so what Ill keep working on it and then jump on him as soon as I feel he's stayed still, but I wanted to make sure that I got into the arena after my Saturday afternoon lesson last weekend with Krystyn and Duke. I heard Scotti ask me if I would wait a bit so she could tack up Doc and then she wanted to ride in the arena with us.  It wasn't long before she entered in te ring.  She said that she would ride in the inter ring that is the way that she had trained a horse years ago to do pairs work.  She told me lots of storied and it was pretty interesting. She even told the story of how her horse had gotten into trouble at Bobbys.  She mentioned that she wasn't interested in cantering.  She was candid and kind.  She really appreciated that I stayed to ride with her.  I was going home in a bit to make a Lasagna for supper but it worked out just fine.  I rode Duke and then untacked him and let him back into his stall. It was very peaceful and I wondered if I had misjudge her.  Maybe I have. She sold me an expensive red bad for my western saddle.  I was afraid that she might forget I bought it and then say "hey you took my pad".  so I took a pic of her selling it to me, posted it on facebook Ha ha
